Behold the debut album by this newborn Brutal Death Metal beast, exploring the idea that what appears to be absolute chaos is, in fact, governed by hidden order.

Inspired by the relentless spirit of classic Brutal Death Metal, the ruthless Indonesia and Ecuador-based trio Barbarism is unleashing upon humanity their vision of cosmic annihilation through calculated brutality in the form of their debut opus, titled Predetermined Extinction. Produced by the band itself, with vocals recorded at Calamity Streak Recording, guitars and bass at Resonance Beast Studio, and drums at V Studio, mixed and mastered at Resonance Beast Studio, and displaying a killer artwork by Andik Godfinger, the debut by Ardian Atmosunaryo (Deserter, Devastrosity, Goremorphosis, Obscure Odium, Over Power) on vocals, Roby Agus (Cryogenic, Decaying Human, Devastrosity, Goremorphosis, Gorification, Gorraw) on the guitars and bass, and Claudio Carrasco (Criptor, Huesa Cadáver, Infected Humans, Nephropexy) on drums explores the idea that what appears to be absolute chaos is, in fact, governed by hidden order, being therefore highly recommended for fans of the savagery blasted by bands such as Disgorge, Deeds of Flesh, and Cerebral Effusion.

Claudio ignites the band’s venomous attack with his infuriated beats and fills in Vortex of Celestial Dismemberment, while Ardian delivers those gurgling, inhumane guttural vocals we all love so much; followed by The Creator’s Metabolic Scourge, with its disturbing intro evolving into a cadaverous display of Brutal Death Metal led by the scorching riffage by Roby in a lecture in the genre. Crypts of Uncreation sounds absolutely demented and pulverizing from start to finish, with the massive beats by Claudio making our heads tremble, and the band once again delivers a high dosage of their undisputed savagery in Xul’s Vermicular Feast, with Ardian vomiting the song’s gory words while Roby continues to shred his axe in the name of violence; whereas The Architect’s Final Theorem is another no shenanigans onrush of brutality led by the crushing drums by Claudio.

There’s still a lot of fuel (or maybe I should say corpses) to burn in Predetermined Extinction, starting with the disruptive Catalogue of Calculated Carnage, with the guitars by Roby transpiring aggression while cutting our flesh mercilessly, while Immaculate Putrescence is one of the most demented songs of the album (if that’s humanly possible), offering our putrid ears an avalanche of Brutal Death Metal through their gruesome roars and infernal blast beats. Chaos in Order sounds as demonic as its predecessors, despite lacking a bit of the dynamism found in the rest of the album; and closing the album we have Structured Violence, bringing forward more of their trademark Brutal Death Metal sounds led by Claudio’s hammering drums, before all fades into an eerie, cryptic outro.

“This album is our tribute to the era of brutal death metal that shaped us while forging an identity rooted in structured violence, anti-creation, and the inevitable collapse of existence,” commented such an unrelenting trio, and you can find more details about the band and their music on Facebook and on Instagram, and of course purchase a copy of the infernal Predetermined Extinction from their own BandCamp or from Grave Island Records, or simply click HERE for all things Barbarism. Predetermined Extinction is Brutal Death Metal at its finest because, as you might already know, where structure dies, barbarism begins.
